I chose to review “School Nurses in New Jersey: A Quantitative Inquiry on Roles and Responsibilities”. This article discusses the roles and responsibilities of school nurses. The quantitative study examined in this journal article examined types of chronic diseases nurses encounter in the school system. The type of nursing procedures administered to students by the school nurse and the documentation provided by the nurse regarding the student is also discussed. A nonexperimental research design was utilized for this research. The research indicates that the number of students with chronic illnesses has increased; therefore the roles and responsibilities of the school nurse have also increased.

This journal article is directly related to my practicum setting due to the research being performed. The research emphasizes the importance of a school nurse and the types of nursing procedures administered. This article calls attention to the health promotion and disease prevention methods that a school nurse employs. It also highlights the correlation of actions taken by the school nurse and academic outcomes. In my practicum I take care of many students that have chronic illnesses and without the aid of the school nurse their academics would unquestionably suffer.

The information provided in this article is directly related to patient-centered care in the school nurse setting. It directly refers to chronic illnesses of the school age child and how the nurse must address these issues. The nurse is key to enabling the child to attend school regardless of their disability. Medication administration is a great part of the school nurse’s daily activities. Prescribed medications for children are on the rise and frequently required to be administered during the school day. This along with many other roles shows the obvious need for school nurses to be present in the school setting. School nurses are required for acute as well as chronic health...

...quality of life.
Nurses work in a wide variety of specialties where they may work independently or as part of a team to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care. Nursing Science is a field of knowledge based on the contributions of nursing scientists through peer-reviewed scholarly journals and evidenced-based practice.
Nursing as a profession
The authority for the practice of nursing is based upon a social contract that delineates professional rights andresponsibilities as well as mechanisms for public accountability. In almost all countries, nursing practice is defined and governed by law, and entrance to the profession is regulated at the national or state level.
The aim of the nursing community worldwide is for its professionals to ensure quality care for all, while maintaining their credentials, code of ethics, standards, and competencies, and continuing their education.[21] There are a number of educational paths to becoming a professional nurse, which vary greatly worldwide, but all involve extensive study of nursing theory and practice, and training in clinical skills.
Nurses care for individuals of all ages and cultural backgrounds who are healthy and ill in a holistic manner based on the individual's physical, emotional, psychological, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs. The profession combines physical science, social science, nursing theory, and technology in caring for those individuals....

...1.1
Analyse the Role of the Nurse
The complex nature of nursing means that there is no single definition that encompasses every aspect of the role of the nurse. A nurse is required to have several attributes and skills to carry out their everyday duties; they must show compassion, empathy, excellent communication skills both verbal and non-verbal. In some cases nurses are also required to become advocators for patients who are not able to communicate for themselves. A nurse is also required to be non-prejudice and understand and acknowledge other cultures and beliefs, for example some religions do not believe in blood transfusions, as a nurse it is important not to judge when faced with such a dilemma.
It is paramount that the nurse is aware of each individual patient’s needs. To establish this it is important that patients are assessed and their care plan be thoroughly explained to ensure they understand the reason(s) for any medication or procedure that they may require. Also, if there are any changes in the patient’s situation or care plan it is the nursesresponsibility to inform the patient and also update the notes. It is the nurse’s place to care for their patients carrying out actions that will help improve the individual’s wellbeing, ‘those actions may have physical, psychological, social, environmental or...

...﻿Despite with all efforts, relationships break and fade it is the reality of the life we live in the twentieth century, people come and go. But this fading, sudden or slow break involves pain, regret and sadness and often can haunt for weeks to years. The recovery after that broken relationship and aspects that can be taken away from that broken relationship can help rebuild and create new or existing ones. Putting more focus on friendships, they can break for many reasons. For example betrayal, this involves a friend lying, hiding, and going behind ones back in some shape or form. Once that trust is broken friendship can be difficult to restore, similar to gluing a piece of broken fine china, it can never be as beautiful as it was before. Literature is a vast sea filled with all sorts of friendships, from acquaintances to soul sisters. The beauty behind literature is the power to be able to move someone to mend a broken relationship, or the book itself can rebuild communities and wrecked relationships. And a strong reader of many texts I can see that literature can influence to mend broken relationships but only to a certain extent. Literature can allow for some to become self acquainted with themselves to give the extra push to mend a specific broken relationship. Though literature can be quite influential it depends on the person reading this literature, as external factors such as bias and prejudice can cause difficulty to persuade the reader to mend a...

...Medicine management can be defined as ‘the clinical, cost-effective and safe use of medicines to ensure patients get the maximum benefit they need, while at the at the same time minimising potential harm.’ (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) 2004).
This essay will analyse the role and responsibility of the nurse in medicine management. It will then examine the complexities which arise when applying this clinical skill in the context of learning disability nursing in a medium secure forensic environment, before finally considering implications and recommendations for practice.
It has been argued that medication administration is one of the most time consuming nursing duties, accounting for 40% of a nurse’s workload. (Armitage &amp; Knapman 2003). Safe practice in the management and administration of medication is an essential part of the role of the nurse (NMC 2008). Although drug administration is a multidisciplinary task, the nurse has the final responsibility of checking the medication before it is administered to the patient (Davey et al 2008). Managing and administering medication is the highest risk of nursing duties (Anderson &amp; Webster 2001), with medication error the most frequent cause of illness and preventable death in hospitals (Adams &amp; Koch, 2010). Medication error can be defined as failure in the drug treatment process...

...Role of a Nurse Essay
Throughout this essay I seek to analyse the role of a nurse and the attributes and skills required in different contexts, e.g. specialist hospitals, specialist hospital departments, residential homes and the community. I will also explain the difference between the different types of nursing: i.e. adult’s, children’s, mental health and learning disabilities, and midwifery; and will explore the range of ethical and moral dilemmas faced by nurses.
Henderson provides a succinct definition: “The role of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well in performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to a peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge and to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence, as rapidly as possible”. (Henderson 1966)
The role of the nurse depends on which field the nurse operates in. However all nurses have a common role to improve the quality of health and wellbeing for the patient, family or community. The nurse’s role can vary dramatically and include being a caregiver, communicator, teacher, advocate, and a counsellor. As a caregiver the nurse will provide personal care which includes hygiene and daily care. As an advocate the nurse’s...

The Role of the Family Nurse Practitioner

The Role of the Family Nurse Practitioner
Introduction
Historically, there have been many instances in American history where legislation and medicine allowed Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) to serve in expanded roles or definitions (Delgado, 2014). This was especially true in areas that were poor or underserved (Delgado, 2014). It is also possible to look back in history and see a direct relationship with times of increased demand for care, (i.e. war, economic depression), and the increased roles allowed and assumed by APN’s. Today, like many other periods throughout our history, there is an increase need for care related to similar events of the past (i.e. war, economic depression); but also related to the increase in access to care as provided by the Affordable Care Act, as well as the growth in our older population, which is a direct result of living longer and better access to care (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2015). Unfortunately, the customary allowance of role expansion for APNs to address this ever growing need has been slow to come or restrictive at best (Schiff, 2012 & Naylor & Kurtzman, 2010).
